The MikroTik hAP ax² (Model: C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC) brings generation-6 Wi-Fi technology to MikroTik’s flagship hAP series. Designed as an all-in-one main home or branch office gateway, it combines modern ARM 64-bit hardware, high-gain dual-band wireless, and extensive wired networking capabilities into an elegant, matte-black enclosure.
At its core, the hAP ax² is driven by an IPQ-6010 quad-core ARM 64-bit processor operating at 864 MHz, backed by 1 GB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage. This modern hardware setup provides up to 40% higher wireless speeds in the 5 GHz band and up to 90% higher speeds in the 2.4 GHz band compared to previous-generation hAP ac² models. The dual-chain 802.11ax radio architecture supports advanced features including 1024-QAM, WPA3 encryption, and OFDMA for smooth performance in dense client environments.
For wired infrastructure, the router features 5x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports connected to a high-speed Marvell switch chip. Powering options are exceptionally flexible: the device accepts power via a standard DC jack or Passive/802.3af/at PoE-in on Port 1, while Port 5 provides Passive PoE-out to supply power to downstream hardware like IP cameras or secondary access points. Its versatile design allows for vertical desktop placement, horizontal flat laying, or wall mounting using the included multi-position base bracket. Operating on MikroTik RouterOS Level 4, it provides complete administrative control over firewall policies, encrypted VPN gateways, bandwidth queues, and CAPsMAN controller integration.
